New Delhi: Tolerance is the foundation of a sound marriage and petty quibbles are mundane matters that should not be blown out of proportion to destroy what is said to have been made in heaven, the Supreme Court said on Friday while quashing a dowry-harassment case filed by a woman against her husband.
The court said many times, the parents and close relatives of a married woman make a mountain out of a mole and instead of salvaging the situation and saving the marriage, their action brings about complete destruction of the marital bonds on trivial issues.
A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said the first thing that comes to the mind of the woman, her parents and relatives is police, as if police are the panacea of all evil.
